It's a great fit and will get even better with time! And the leather is really something special. I saw it's larger brother in Engelbert Vanek's workshop. It was the last batch of leather from an Austrian tannery before they closed. I'm glad it found a good home once again! Cheers!

Terry et al, what’s up with the rivets at the ends of the pockets? Reinforcement? Protect the pocket in a slide? ...?
Very cool jacket Terry, one of my faves from your collection. So many little surprises to find!

@Angel I will do my best to wear it and get it to shape up around me. It feels like it hasn't been fully breaked in yet. Man that's cool that it has a brother at the brick and mortar Vanek shop, thanks for sharing that info. I'm lucky to get this jacket and it will be well taken care of. All the best
congrats on yet another perfectly fit jacket man
oh here is still at the peak of wet season, came home from supermarket in heavy thunderstorm just half an hour from taking that pic. But I live in a place surrounded by volcanoes (some slumbering some alive) even when the sun is extreme, the wind is always cool here throughout the year, so as long as I'm in the shade or moving I can enjoy wearing jacket all year round, except for maybe few weeks in october when the air kind of stop moving and heavy at the beginning of rainy season
Thanks again @navetsea very fortunate to get a fit like this. Getting a vintage jacket that fits this well gives me hope for the future.
That sounds like a wonderful place to live and enjoy your leather jackets through out the year. Hope you get to hear good news about your MC jacket project
@Robbie79 Man those heavy cxl and LW leather must be something else. I will most likely not get anything heavier than 3.5 oz lol oh I can't seem to remember when this jacket was possibly made?

Wearing my new-to-me 60s Langlitz Columbia. Not the best fitting Langlitz Ive ever owned, but good enough for me. Love it. Dropped it off at Langlitz today for a new fur collar and to remove the belt loops.

Yes! Super! That looks perfect on you man. I'm loving the whole 4 pocket vibe and the snap at the waist bad! The Vanek has the slider in the left which is new to me, it does make sense to place it there because of how hard it would be to zip up the jacket with the extended waistband with snap hindering the ease of the process.

Every time I see this jacket I have to stop and really admire it. All the while a solitary tear runs down the right side of my face as I think how it could possibly be in my closet lol. You wear it well.

You certainly made a proper score this time Marc congratulation. Now no more complaints about the lack of vintage jackets on your side of the pond

From yesterday. RMC Wayward.
You jest, but one TFL bubba actually built a house for his jackets. He knows who he is
Wow is this a fact? I have an entire room with 1 double decker rail and 3 industrial straight rails full of jackets and I thought that was bad! A whole house!?
